Doctors have been visiting Begum Khaleda Zia's home on a roster and are checking her health, sources said.

She is undergoing treatment as per the advice of doctors at The London Clinic. The BNP Chairperson is under the round-the-clock observation of the Medical Board.

"In the last two days, no one except her family members and close relatives has visited her. She is spending time with her family members in a happy mood," said Khan.

According to sources, Khaleda Zia is in a good mood. Doctors in London have advised her to walk a bit instead of sitting continuously. Board members are following up at home regularly. Khaleda Zia's health is being coordinated by her personal physician Dr AZM Zahid Hossain. Home-cooked food is being served to the BNP chief on the advice of the doctors.

Earlier, former prime minister Khaleda Zia returned home on 6 May after four months of treatment in the UK.

From the airport, she went directly to her Gulshan residence Feroza.

Her two daughters-in-law, Dr Zubaida Rahman and Syeda Shamila Rahman, accompanied her.
